Son did some work on the car. He has never welded before but not much to screw up so perfect learning for him.

Well haven't worked on it much lately as been concentrated on shipping the 1-5/8" heat exchangers. I received some goodies though some 2.2 S pistons for my 2.4 , my heads redone and ported to 36mm ports both courtesy of Henry @supertec.

I will resume some welding this week and looks like I need to send the crank out for inspection probably case for a line hone both going to supertec.. Guess I need to make some new products to fund this.

I see holes in the floor pans. Are you going to make lower seat mounts to give you more head room?

No needs a rear floor pan so this is the easy way for me to get in there and weld em up.

So made some progress this week. I welded a bit more small repair areas. Waiting on a firewall and floor pan section and then I will finish the underside this summer for sure.


The case came in yesterday from all the machining. Looks great now lots of cleaning.

Tomorrow I'm sending you that long promised sideshift transmission.
Tried to clean the undercoating off and the steam pressure washer gave out after a couple minutes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Thanks everyone.

The trans I currently have is a core at best as the ears were broken off at some point and the gear lube is black as black can be so Mark you are helping me out big..

Yesterday I removed one of the 4cyl engine mount on driver side. Fixed some more rusty areas.. I am plugging away.

Talked to Henry on more parts for my engine. Going to have about 6k in parts but the engine will basically be new. The crank and bearings are the most expensive part and would make all of you sick. Good thing no timeline on this.

Here are some pictures and updates.. Everyday been making a little progress. Go out at 5am work until 5:45 then leave for work so it is slow going.

The case was at supertec. The fan assembly I restored myself.. Almost done on driverside rust repair. Passenger side next week then waiting on firewall and a driverside patch panel from a member that is down for the count with a shoulder injury for a bit.
